Newbie...I think I am overthinking this and its paralyzing

This is it exactly. Given the grad schools listed, I'd suggest getting any Bachelor - Biz because it will automatically come with the prerequisites (or 99% of them) required of most MBA program admissions templates, but the difference between NAU's Small Biz BA and TESC's or most other standard BSBA's is minimal, and from what I glanced at when it first came out, includes the same prerequisites. I think I only saw one or two courses of difference in the Biz requirements.

That's a good point. NAU's small business program still includes most of your typical business courses making it so that one doesn't really have to worry about fitting prerequisites into the degree program or completing them afterward. For business degrees, you'll find that they can come as a BA, BS, BBA, and probably some other designations. They're mostly the same. The only types of degrees in which these titles make a difference is in engineering because of the way ABET accredits degrees.

With NAU's program, there might be an issue, however, with the number of credits you receive for each subject. Economics is combined with business law for 3 credits. MBA programs that require prerequisites often require 3 credits in microeconomics and 3 credits in macroeconomics. If they require business law, that's another 3 separate credits. Managerial accounting and financial analysis is one course worth 3 credits. Prerequisites normally require 3 credits in financial accounting and 3 credits in managerial accounting. I also don't see an intro to marketing course, just Entrepreneurship and New Media Marketing; but, you can always include that in the free electives.

Luckily, UNC doesn't require specific prerequisites. They only require general knowledge in accounting, finance, statistics, and economics. Kelley only requires financial accounting and statistics. Fox seems to make you take a bunch of foundational courses within the MBA program, but up to 9 credits can be waived by undergraduate coursework. Fuqua looks to be the strictest.

How do you rank undergraduate transcripts?
We look quite closely at undergraduate transcripts and examine the quality of the institution, the overall performance, and strong performance in any relevant quantitative and business courses, including calculus, macro and micro economics, statistics, finance, and accounting.
